***Official Mansfield 2023***

Didn't see one for Mansfield, so here we go!

Yeah, baby, Saturday night June 17th! Tailgate all day long and leave the lots 3 hours after the final song. Yippppeeeee!

I wonder if tailgating starts sooner since it is a Saturday.

For newbies, watch for the Pacific Blue cops on bikes.

    There is a new hotel across from the $60 pay lots by the venue that is walking distance. I forget what name it might be a Fairfield Inn.

    Did this last year and have it booked again for this year. It is expensive but worth every penny

    Don't leave early, spend $50 and pay to park. Ive never left early and always stay till last song. You'll get out in 10-15 mins with a parking pass. 2-3 hours without it

    Have paid $50.00 and was able to get out in an hour which is a big improvement from the 2:30 without but it sounds like other people have gotten out faster, hope it works out

    Sometime between early afternoon and now I got a temporary charge for this show. First time in Warehouse since 2006, I assume it doesn't really mean anything and it's just a test on their end?

    And the temporary charge for the full amount dropped off yesterday afternoon. Hopefully that was a test and I still have a chance at tickets.

    Re: ***Official Mansfield 2023***

    I only requested series 2/Mansfield. Had a soft charge for the full amount Thursday afternoon through Sunday afternoon. Then had a withdrawal for the full amount Tuesday, but also received the technical difficulty emails. This morning I received a $32 credit on my account.

    So instead of pit, 1-3, or lower 5-7 like it looked like, my tickets should be in, 4, upper 5-7, or 8. A little bit disappointing since it looked like I hit the jackpot, but my goal going in was to avoid the awful 9-15 area, so mission accomplished it appears.

    Hope this timeline can help some of you!

    Sucks? We should only be that lucky! It's a hellscape that makes you question whether you want to go to another concert ever again.

    There is only one access road that services all of the parking lots, and there's only one road (140) that connects the highway (495) to the parking access road. Get a parking pass if possible, they're good about holding up other traffic to let people in those lots out.

    Lets set the record straight here. Yes, it does suck, but so do most venues when 20,000 people try to leave all at once. I would plan on hanging out for an hour or so that way you aren't crawling out of there in the car. Mansfield is definitely worse since there is essentially one way in, one way out, but it has gotten better over the years.

    For me - red lot parking is the way to go and well worth the $60. Not only do you have a quick in and out, we also have no issues staying there late. Mansfield certainly has some negatives, but I will say - the cops never bother us in premier parking no matter how late we stay. They are super lenient and for the past decade or so, I've always been one of the last groups in the lot that stick around and chill.

    100% correct - but i will say lots have cleared our noticeably quicker these past few years. Still not even close to great but impressive considering the lack of exits. 495 is only a half mile away and I think they definitely do their best to funnel cars out of there as quick as they can

    In fact, this show will be exactly 3 months since Taylor's tour opener. And St. Patrick's Day.

    Mansfield pit is small so its good, but packed. I actually like Hartford's pit better - hang towards the back and you have plenty of personal space

    Wife got Mansfield tix during the Citi presale, $135 per in sec 8 before fees, which in 2023 I'm not complaining too much. It's whatever.

    Got absolutely hosed for Gilford as the Citi presale wasn't going on in the beginning, just platinum and we're in the first few rows of the 3rd section, when they just dropped section 2 B for Mansfield prices. So for $60 more, we're about 50 feet further back. TM sucks. I hope the Swifties take care of them.

    @typicalbilly14 scoured the presale from the moment they went on sale at 10am and TM only had seats in section 4, 8, and 9-15. just not a fan of those sections anymore. hoping on the general drop there will be some other options. got lucky last year and got section 3 on the general drop

    Just bought a red lot parking pass on live nation, fyi.

    Warehouse never got back to me about the parking pass I was charged for. Better safe than sorry.
